Hi all,
While my C-22 is on the hard, one job on my winter to-do list is replacing the broken deck and steaming light. I bought a new combo deck and halogen steaming light from CD which appears to be form and functionally equivalent.
After taking off the old unit, I see just one positive and one negative wire protruding through the mast. The instructions for the new unit indicate I should use two hot leads and one negative for the deck an steaming light. So now I’m perplexed.
Is there a way to power both lights from just one hot lead and one negative return? Or did the PO simply never have both lights working? Or something else?
My boat is an original design 1984.
Attached is a photo of the old unit.
Thanks!
Andre
